That is another package. As far as I understand it, the libraries
mentioned by Benda are just some data type converters; they don't
contain an importable module. The package in [2] is built on top of this
library (but a package that is built independently), and this should
ofcourse get the name given in the policy.
The library Benda speaks about is not covered by the Python Policy, but
a normal shared library that should be covered by the standard Debian
Policy.
